Fiona and Simon’s Slawston, Leicestershire Wedding

Images from the wedding of Fiona and Simon in the beautiful Leicestershire village of Slawston. A lovely, affair in a small, cosy intimate village church and then back to Fiona’s parents house to celebrate their marriage. I feel there could be quite a few entries into the WPJA competition from this lovely day…

Kerry and Jon’s Sutton Bonington, Leicestershire Wedding

It was back to top Leicestershire Wedding Venue, the superb Sutton Bonington Hall for the wedding of Jon & Kerry. The threat of missing England’s quarter final appearance in the world cup against Argentina never materialised thanks to their woeful efforts in South Africa and never actually making it that far. It wouldn’t have been a problem anyway as the day was simply fantastic and far more entertaining than any England football match.

The day started at Kerry’s parents’ house with the bridal preparations. Kerry had an amazing pair of shoes courtesy of Shoes by Gina. Hair was by Guy who works at Indy Hair in Leicester and make up provided by Leicestershire make-up artist Femi. A terrific vehicle was provided by Nottingham Wedding Car Hire company Ivory Cars, a beauty from their fleet called Daisy; a 1928 Daimler Hooper Tourer and the only one of its kind on the road in the UK.

After the service which was held at St Michael’s Church the guests walked 300 yards down the road to Sutton Bonington Hall for the reception, while Kerry & Jon took off for a 15 minute spin in the Daimler. The flowers for the day were provided by Leicestershire Florist Flowers by Sarah of Quorn.

Matt - Absolutely stunning shots Ian. I find it fascinating that you can, from your photographs, tell the wedding day story. Utterly brilliant and compelling. I love the partial reflection of the bride shot (5); she looks wonderful (and reminds me of Kate Beckinsale — Beautiful!) Some of the expressions you have captured are extraordinary. What timing! As for some of the other shots they are art pieces. I mean the boy on the chair (8) is timeless. Well done, they are fabulous!August 3, 2010 – 7:31 am

David - Wow! Fantastic as always… You always seem to capture the moments beautifully and in such a natural way. Another great collection of shots.August 3, 2010 – 9:19 am

Wendy & Richard’s Stubton Hall, Newark Wedding

Nottinghamshire wedding venue Stubton Hall was the location for the wedding of Wendy & Richard. Stubton Hall has quickly become one of the premier venues for weddings in Nottinghamshire… and the best thing is that when you have a wedding at Stubton Hall, you will have the entire house and gardens to yourselves. The day’s coverage started with bridal preparations. The girls’ hair was styled by Jodie who works at Nottingham Hair Salon The Tier and make up was provided by talented Nottinghamshire Makeup Artist Claire Shipman.

One of the advantages of having a wedding in a venue such as Stubton is that it makes it possible to get coverage of the boys’ getting ready too. The guys were very witty and great fun to work with! Flowers for the day’s celebrations were provided by Nottingham Florist Vaas, and they were absolutely sensational. Pre and post ceremony music was provided by the very talented Norfolk Harpist Xenia Horne.

Coverage ended after the cake cutting and first dance. The cake – a tower of cupcakes was by Nottinghamshire Cupcake Company Heavenly Cupcakes and the evenings music was provided by London Band The Boogie Nights Band and the hall’s resident DJ.
